Published by local entrepreneur John Dortch, Fort Wayne Ink Spot Newspaper (FWIS), since March 2018, has continued the legacy of the previous black-owned newspaper in the city, Frost Illustrated Newspaper, by telling stories about local and national Africans and African-Americans.

Printed May 30, 2019, Issue 11 | Volume 2 of the FWIS was comprised of articles and stories that were illustrated/painted completely or were complimented with an illustration/painting.

As the managing editor of the paper, I served as creator/creative director for the project.
